Table 1. Characteristics of patients with RRMM receiving a PI during 2L or 3L treatment.
Figure 1. Treatment patterns for patients with RRMM receiving a PI in second or third line. (A) Treatments administered during first and second line for patients receiving a PI in second line (n = 219). (B) Treatments administered during first, second and third line for patients receiving a PI in third line (n = 83). PI-based regimens administered for the treatment of RRMM in real-world clinical practice in Germany are in accordance with national and international treatment guidelines. Abbreviations. BTZ, bortezomib; CFZ, carfilzomib; IXA, ixazomib; LEN, lenalidomide; PI, proteasome inhibitor; RRMM, relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma.

Table 2. Mean monthly direct costs (in Euros [€]) associated with PI-based regimens in patients with RRMM.
Figure 2. Planned and unplanned hospitalizations in patients with RRMM receiving a PI by best response achieved. (A) Mean monthly costs (Euros). (B) Mean number of days in hospital per month. Cost expenditures were much decreased in responders vs non-responders. Data are shown from a total of 219 patients in second line. Of those, one-third of patients had a planned hospitalization (n = 64) and 5% an unplanned hospitalization (n = 11). Error bars indicate standard errors. Abbreviations. CR, complete response; PD, progressive disease; PI, proteasome inhibitor; PR, partial response; RRMM, relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma; SD, stable disease; VGPR, very good partial response.
